Hawaiian baby woodrose (Argyreia nervosa)

The Hawaiian baby woodrose (Argyreia nervosa)   is a member of the convolvulaceae family which also includes the morning glory. They contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called LSA (Lysergic Acid Amide), which is closely related to LSD. The seeds are consumed orally, either direct or after extraction of the active alkaloids.

Effects

The effects are somewhat similar to those of LSD, but less intense and less visual. An Hawaiian baby woodrose trip lasts 6-8 hours; tranquil feelings may last an additional 12 hours. Sleep is deep and refreshing after the trip, however some users may experience a hangover characterized by blurred vision, vertigo, and physical intertia.
Nausea and other stomach complaints are quite common side effects of consuming Hawaiian baby woodrose, which are not caused by the LSA but other compounds in the seeds. This is why some users choose to extract the LSA from the seeds.

Usage

Because use is oral, onset is affected by the last food that was ingested (try not to eat 4-6 hours before you eat the seeds). The average dosage is 4 to 8 seeds. Some users advise to take no more than 2 or 3 the first time. The seeds must chewed for as long as possible as the active substances are absorbed by the body's saliva.

Here is a recipe to let the seeds work more efficiently:

1. Remove any remaining husk and cut the seeds up in small bits with a knife or pair of scissors They can also be pulverised in a coffee grinder.
2. Put them in a cup and pour half a cup of hot but not boiling   water on them. It is best to use distilled water as tap water and mineral water contain minerals which can diminish the effect of the seeds
3. Leave for at least 1½ hours for the water to cool down to room temperature. The alkaloids dissolve in the water at a certain temperature that is reached at some time during the cooling process.
4. Drink the water together with the seeds.

Warning

1. Do not operate heavy machinery. Do Not Drive.
2. Do not use Hawaiian woodrose seeds when pregnant. LSA is closely related to LSD which is a uterine contractor that can increase risk of miscarriage during pregnancy
3. Individuals currently in the midst of emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful about choosing to use psychedelics such as Hawaiian Woodrose seeds, as they can bring out dormant emotions.
4. Individuals with a family history of schizophrenia or early onset mental illness should be extremely careful as psychedelics have been known to trigger latent psychological and mental problems.
5. Although Hawaiian woodrose belong to the same family as the morning glory, Hawaiian woodrose seeds are much stronger.
6. Do not combine LSA with alcohol, MAO inhibitors or other drugs.

“First time I got these I tried eating four. I just chomped them and swallowed. There was very little effect, I probably should have held them in my mouth longer. Had sex that night and went for a very long time without peaking -- this may have had something to do with the HBWR, but if it did, it was the only noticeable effect.

The second time was in the morning right after waking up -- I did not eat breakfast so this was on an empty stomach. It was around 10:00 AM. Have studied and practiced mysticism since childhood and because I'm so used to altered states of consciousness I find that I can trip off Amanita Muscaria and psilocybe cubensis without a sitter and be out in public interacting with people just fine; I find these sacramental agents to augment my daily spiritual consciousness, and almost never have a bad trip as long as I enter with this mindset. I had to work this day (4 PM) and I figured that the woodrose trip would come and go by the time I went to work.

Anyway, I let the powder sit under my tongue for five minutes, then chased it down with some tap water. 20 minutes later I puked (two dry heaves), then I got a blunt out and started smoking. The nausea settled, but no effects from the HBWR yet.

Started playing PC games, waiting for the effects to take place. Every 45 minutes a small wave of nausea would pass over me for a minute, not enough to induce vomit, and when it passed I'd find myself left in a somewhat euphoric body high that lasted about half an hour. Two of these waves occurred; the second wave was more intense (still no vomit, though) and so was its following euphoria.

I was disappointed at this time because the trip was not really consistent, limited to mild euphoric bursts that came off and on. There were no psychedelic effects or perceptual distortions, it just felt like a mild MDMA-type upper.

At about 3:00 PM (note: FIVE hours later!), an hour before work, without any wave of nausea, suddenly I became incredibly euphoric, highly energized, not like the previous two at all. This was a reasonably intense euphoria, more like a regular MDMA roll, with the added psychedelic mind-trip effect. Much like psilocybe cubensis, these seeds had my mind going in all directions very quickly, over-analyzing and criticizing and speculating. To me, it was at this time that the trip really began, and I was surprised that it took so long. I'd heard LSA can sometimes take up to three hours to kick in, but never heard of five!

I went to work while still tripping. At first I was quite energetic, joyful, positive, upbeat, but I thought I could see in my peripheral vision my work mates glancing at me strangely as if they knew "something is different about him." I'm sure that they weren't, but what the hell, I was tripping! This gave a sort of "bad taste" to the trip, but it was not quite yet a full blown nightmare, as I've experienced on cubensis.

The peak of the trip lasted from 3PM to 5PM, after which the comedown entailed a degree of lethargy and that uncomfortable grounded feeling. It felt like I was doing things at an incredibly slow pace and this also made the trip a little "bad," but I kept noticing I was going at about my normal speed so I finished everything in time. The comedown reminded me a little bit of a meth comedown.

I didn't have any sort of psychedelic breakthroughs like I've had on cubensis but I can definitely see how it is possible to do so. The psychedelic (mind / mental / psychic) effects, I feel, are similar to shrooms; they will, or at least can, have your mind bouncing off walls just the same way. The body trip or high feels more like an amphetamine such as MDMA, but with the mental sharpness bestowed by cubensis and the mental clarity bestowed by Amanita Muscaria (at non-heroic doses less than 10 grams).

There were no actual hallucinations, either. I experienced a slight perceptual distortion of space that I can't quite explain, but it was very subtle, nothing like cubensis. To me, the trip from these 8 seeds was comparable to a trip off 4 grams of cubensis but at half the psychedelic intensity, and with very little hallucinogenic effects.

All in all, I find these seeds well worth their price in $$ and their price in nausea. The nausea actually was not as bad as people on the net make it out to be (not surprised, as amanita muscaria is not as scary or nauseating as made out to be either, though I have NOT eaten more than 9 grams in any sitting). I only vomitted once, and they were dry heaves due to an empty stomach; the two other nausea waves were quite brief. Back in April I had a bad case of stomach flu for a night which was about 1000 times worse than these seeds. But maybe that's just me. I love HBWR, and they have become a regular in my collection of preferred psychedelic substances.

“There's below good trip stories, where these hbwr-users are advising to smoke some cannabis with the seeds.

Yes, they potentiate a lot these seeds.

I suggest smoking bud only to experienced users, or if the hbwr's only make you happy.

When I smoked bud with the seeds, it launched the experience. Smoking bud fills my mind with many thoughts, that go through my mind very fastly. I'm a neurotic analyzer-type of a person. But with hbwr's my mind accelerated to 10000 horse power mega analyzethinking. And it is very possible for many people in deed to think any negative thoughts, like: "Am I going nuts?", "Am I going to die?"

Think these reefer madness -thoughts accelerated to 10000x... So, then, smoking bud with the seeds can be extremely dangerous to people who are living in their mind. And I don't know any person who isn't living in his/hers mind.
